Galloni om:
Pinot Noir Brauneberger Mandelgraben * trocken
-- Galloni: On the nose, this “one-star” offering strikes a lovely balance between meat stock and fresh red cherry. Hints of wet stone and sea breeze anticipate the underlying mineral elements that complement this silken Pinot Noir’s rich fruit and deep meaty savor. Smoky peat accents and hints of coriander and rose hip, along with a sweet-saline, iodine-tinged suggestion of shrimp-shell reduction, add to the mouthwatering appeal of a succulently sustained finish. Molitor himself – not to mention German Pinot growers generally – can take a lesson from the less-is-more approach to vinification and upbringing that this beauty epitomizes. Absence of woody interference or of excessive winemaking effort results in transparency to myriad, delightful details. 91/100
